I would say your problem is the C&C thread. Coats and Clark is very linty and lumpy. I never use it for anything. I would use a size 12 needle and a better quality cotton quilting thread, like Gutermann, or Mettler, or one of the other good brands. But you have to use what works for your machine. I have Vikings and they don't like cheap thread. Good Luck!
